I harvested some eucalyptus saplings from Salinas, CA to build a bed frame for my daughter. From the same place I also cut some manzanita to be used as decoration in the room. The cut logs were stored outdoors for a few months to dry out before the bark was hewn. The logs were stored near some cut oak, apple, and almond firewood. A few months after building the bed frame with the hewn eucalyptus I stated seeing wood powder as well as what looked like powder post beetles. I bought some boracare (insecticide) to treat the wood. The powder post beetles have not been seen since, but these beetles have appeared in numbers. I see 3-6 every night. I can also hear gnawing in both the eucalyptus and now the manzanita as well. It's gotten to a point where my daughter will not sleep in the room. It's a shame because the room is friggin awesome...if I do say so myself
